Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are mostly made of gases like hydrogen and helium (Uranus and Neptune contain a lot of icy material, as well.)

Why are the inner planets smaller when the outer planets are larger?

By mass, the majority of the matter orbiting the sun is hydrogen and helium. When the solar system was just starting to form heat from the sun and the strong solar wind drove most of the hydrogen, helium, and other gasses out of the inner solar system, leaving behind mostly rock and metal, which were much less abundant. The sunlight and solar wind in the outer solar system were much less intense, so these gasses remained in place long enough to become part of the giant planets.

Why did the inner planets lose their hydrogen and helium?

The light hydrogen and helium gasses were swept out of the inner solar system by the intense solar wind of the young sun. The outer planets retained the hydrogen and helium as the solar wind diminished with distance.
